The Iowa Department of Transportation’s 511ia.org reports some crashes on area roads are slowing traffic.

• I-80 eastbound, just east of the Highway 148 interchange at Anita, is blocked in the left lane due to a crash.
• A semi tractor-trailer is jackknifed on Interstate 80 near the Walnut exit due to the icy road conditions. And a westbound pickup spun out and ended up in the ditch in this same location.
• I-80 in Council Bluffs, the southbound I-29 ramp is partially blocked due to a crash. Open as of 8:52-a.m.

Many area roads are partially covered with snow, due to blowing snow. Tow bans are in effect for Mills and Montgomery Counties.
